  • Article

imageSteven Sinofsky, President of Windows and Windows Live Division, has penned the first posting on a new Building Windows 8 blog. He writes, “Windows 8 reimagines Windows for a new generation of computing devices, and will be the very best operating system for hundreds of millions of PCs, new and old, used by well over a billion people globally. … We intend to post regularly throughout the development of Windows 8, and to focus on the engineering of the product.”

The post is Welcome to Building Windows 8.

He adds, “We showed you a preview of Windows 8 in June, demonstrating the user experience and providing an update on ARM SoC support. The next major event for Windows is our BUILD conference in September, where we will provide developers with more details about the full spectrum of tools and capabilities available to make the most of Windows 8.”

You can also follow the engineering discussions on Twitter @BuildWindows8. Look for shortened URLs of https://win8.ms/ with links to posts and videos.
